in_o these_o unnatural_a war_n ground_v upon_o flattery_n and_o ceremony_n contrary_a to_o god_n word_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n 1_o in_o respect_n of_o religion_n that_o we_o have_v

the_o first_o step_n to_o this_o division_n can_v be_v deny_v now_o that_o a_o nation_n ought_v to_o take_v up_o arm_n to_o oppose_v those_o that_o shall_v not_o only_o bring_v in_o such_o

to_o their_o king_n be_v bind_v in_o this_o point_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o law_n in_o which_o consist_v his_o majesty_n honour_n and_o regal_a authority_n 3_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o parliament_n that_o be_v the_o subject_n cause_n that_o in_o the_o continuance_n of_o parliament_n consist_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o subject_n be_v apparent_a by_o the_o many_o

preserve_v they_o from_o oppression_n be_v manifest_v by_o these_o late_a year_n experience_n and_o that_o by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o this_o palliament_n those_o thing_n have_v be_v redress_v for_o
